Justin Brownlee to Play in Indonesian Basketball League
Barangay Ginebra’s resident import player, Justin Brownlee, will be showcasing his skills in the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) for a few months, as reported by Spin.ph. This move comes as the PBA Philippine Cup progresses without him, providing Brownlee with an opportunity to stay active on the court.
Coach Cone’s Support
Coach Tim Cone, who has mentored Brownlee both in Ginebra and Gilas Pilipinas, expressed his support for the decision. Cone sees this as a chance for Brownlee to stay in shape and earn additional income while he is unable to play in the Philippines.
Future Plans
Following his stint in the IBL, Brownlee is expected to return to Ginebra for the next import conference or join Gilas Pilipinas in June for their upcoming campaigns. With his extensive experience as a six-time PBA champion, Brownlee aims to maintain his peak performance during this period.
Looking ahead, Brownlee will reunite with Ginebra in the 2024-25 PBA season, coinciding with the second Asia Cup qualifier window in November. This strategic move allows Brownlee to stay competitive and prepared for future challenges.
Overall, this opportunity presents a positive outlook for Brownlee’s career development and his contributions to Philippine basketball.
